"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Bane was a total alpha badass, yet he was friendzoned...

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

....what?
She kept hounding Bruce for money the first half of the movie
She then slept with Bruce the MOMENT she saw he had a picture of another woman in his house
She had serious Daddy issues
She stabbed Bruce from behind when he LEAST expected it
She brought up an incident that happened 8 YEARS AGO
She TOTALLY overreacted to that old incident by manipulating, lying and dragging LITERALLY EVERYBODY ELSE in the city into the drama
She friendzoned the guy that saved her life and literally did everything for her
She constantly shouted and criticized the guy driving the nuke truck
She then crashed the nuke truck the MOMENT she got took over the wheel
And most importantly we don't find out who she REALLY is until it's too late.
Talia was pretty damn close to "typical" as a woman can get.
she also climbed out of huge hole of a prison without a safety rope. and concocted a nearly flawless plan to destroy an entire city with a nuclear bomb...then did whatever it took to make sure said plan was executed. what average female could have done that? how many of these spoiled pricesses you see everywhere could have the balls to do that? not a single one. talia is playing a role that is more like that of a man with huge balls. although she is evil, slutty, deceitful, and manipulative like an average woman. its just feminists unrealistic portrayal of women in movies.Toast123 said:well he was friendzoned by a woman who wasnt exactly a typical female.

for what its worth, the best message in that movie is "you must climb without the rope."
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

...How old are you, seriously?Toast123 said:This entire topic makes me embarrassed to be apart of these forums.
Insecure much?
You're trying to make sense of these tropes and apply them to characters who are created by a team of writers who's purpose is to fit into and act appropriately in a specific narrative. Bane wasn't "friendzoned" by Talia because he forgot to neg and didnt kino enough, he was "friendzoned" because the writers wanted it that way. And he wasn't even "friendzoned" - not every platonic relationship between a man and a woman is always because the woman "friendzoned" the man - it looked to me as though they both cared for each other like family.
He's the ultimate badboy because he decided to nuke a city and kill millions of people? That's not "alpha", that's being a sociopath.

Fiction.
Does that answer your question?
Good.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
